    Well after looking at it, I don't think I want to do that. I don't trust myself in cutting metal off my truck in that way. I have a grinder, and use it, but not on body panels. Thanks for the info though

    Those are +25 offset correct? If I ran a 20X8.5 with a 275/45-20 it would be 1.2" taller then your setup. Think it would work?

    If you do the 275-45 your front tires will be a little bit taller then your rears. I would do a 275-40, it would fit better. I have a 2.5"/4" drop on my truck

    yeah a 275/40 would put me .6" shorter then the 295/40's. Might be the way to go. Thanks for the input

    I rubbed slightly with a 275/45/20 up front on my truck. 4/6 djm drop, 20x8.5 wheel +28 offset. I lacked about 1/4" from clearing the factory fenders. Original owner cut the rear quarters to clear the 275/45. I still run the 275 out back but a 245/45 up front. I probably could have been okay with a 255/45 or so tire up front.

    did it rub only when turning and/or going straight and over bigger bumps?

    I ran 275/45/20 onmy truck with the centerline stingray 2's and I didn't have any issues on my old truck... It was dropped and the only time I ever had an issue would be when I hit a large bump or dip in the road and the suspension would compress and the tires would rub the top of the fender.. But that was because of my driving style mainly

    More than likely. I will sell you mine, I'll even throw in the wheels.
